Conflict resolution and group work.
Abstract
Group work is a common strategy used by college professors interested in using more student-centered teaching strategies, although, conflict is believed to be common in group projects between students. Very little research, has considered how students perceive and manage group work. The current study fills this void by examining 143 students who recently completed a group project. Results suggest that students who participate in groups learn to manage conflict and improve their communication and cooperation skills.
